We stayed here with a sprots group in September. The place was great and accommodating and the untis were tidy and clean. The only down side was the bed was not that comfortable, a little soft and lumpy.

Overall the staff were excellent in every way, the motel was the basic motel, TV was just free view no extra channels, shower had to be turned all the way up to even get hot water.
I stayed here because it had a restaraunt as well, and as I said the staff were great, but the food not so much. I believe I had stomach ache from the steak on Friday night...
Overall a place to stay when you do not expect too much.
Room tip: Wifi was not that great at all

Have stayed at this place a number of times and although its basic we have had a great experience but this last time was a nightmare ......
1. Went to have dinner which was nice and there was a party going on which is to be expected (the owners bday) when the lights were turned off half way through we soon got over this
2. the music was very loud and went on till the wee hours of the morning .... still we can manage this but.....
3. what we couldn't handle was the chief drunk as skank yelling and swearing in the small hours of the morning no giving up and braking bottles etc ( we were a party of 3 women and 2 young kids ) this was very frighting we ph owners at 7.30am complaining about this she wasn't really interested .We packed up and left after no sleep

We stayed at the Brightwater Motor Inn over a weekend recently while participating in a sporting event in the area. The rooms were clean, tidy and of a good size - nothing flash but it met our needs. The owners/managers were pleasant.
The motor inn is located on a busy road but while there was plenty of traffic during the day it was quiet enough at night.
We didn't see a laundry anywhere but that wasn't a problem for us given the short stay. Apparently there's a laundromat just up the road at Stoke if you need one.
I'd stay there again if we were participating in the same event.
